The article discusses Lane-free traffic (LFT), a new traffic system that aims to increase road capacity and utilization by removing lane markings. LFT relies on connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) to coordinate their maneuvers. The authors propose a conceptual framework for LFT driving simulations, which could help understand human behavior and perceived safety in LFT. The article also highlights the challenges of implementing traditional traffic solutions and the potential of LFT in increasing traffic capacity.
